Purchased a Disney 18" Boba Fett and cut it into pieces ! Figure Mod

pcoz · Jun 18, 2015

Hey guys, I got a little busy and never got those pic's up yesterday....

So here are a few more and I'll try to get some additional tonight.

Believe it or not, I'm just a little over half way through this build, so lots more boring details to come ! lol

So DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS....

So I was looking at the molded girth belt.....and I have to say, I was going to leave it. But I thought I've come this far, I shouldn't skimp on the mods now.

So off to the store to buy yarn....

cut some lengths and glued together

oh, and while I was at the craft store, I noticed this parachute line that might work well for the fuel hoses on his arm....we'll see

mixed some black acrylic paint and watered it down to ink consistency to tint the cord

removed the inner threads and ended up something tube-like....I had a hard time finding suitable braided hose for this scale.

Ok, hold the jokes on this one.....lol. I was doing some research on how to "stiffen" fabric....so this should work for the lines and I might try it on the cape to see if it will hold up. More on that later.....

Sorry for jumping around here from one area to another....

cut the pouches off the belt and glued to sheet foam

painting to match

started working on the lines but the kept collapsing so I inserted a metal wire and glued into place

got the 3 in...I'm not sure if I'm totally satisfied, I may change later...

ok, thats it for now

more to come !

hey guys, back with an update....

started painting the tools

just super glued into the pockets I opened up

found some thread I thought would work well for the scalps

after a few trial braids, I had to enlist the help of my daughter to show my how it's done.....

darkening up the red on the belt.....

braids are done but way too bright

used knife to fray the ends to look more like wookie hair

"boba, looks like you need to lay off the cheesburgers for a while"

again, the molded buckles on the backside have to go as well....

getting a base coat on some accessories

inventory check

tested the fabric stiffener and it works great !

Jumping around a bit...sorry, ADD

Base is primed

base coat of brownish orange

adding in some finer detail with pebbles and rocks just glued on..

while the base is drying, back to the armor

weathering with some hits of black...and adding battle damage

time to paint

trying them on for size....

added in some of the details that I originally removed from the figure....

.........

so back again with a quick update....

gotta keep improving, so the molded details had to go to make room for something more realistic

decided to just cover up the mold

balsa wood

metallic paint

metal wire glued in

sheet foam for the belt and more wire

painted the belt to match a little better

wrapped the ammo belt around and glued

attached the pouches

getting closer.....

Next, we'll be painting the jetpack !

Thank you gentlemen ! I appreciate the comments and feedback.....

I am definitely happy to be near the end....of actually finishing a project ! You see, I suffer from project procrastination, lol

Yes, I am horrible at starting projects and not finishing them....so to see this through will be monumental !

I hope there are no issues posting links to RPF......I looked around but couldn't find any restrictions.

Here are two other WIP's.....that have still yet to be completed !

I'm set on getting them done eventually. In fact, I am in the painting stages of the MechWarrior now.....

Transformers Wall Mural / 3D Foam Build Out -Bumble Bee (Pic Heavy)

ok, let's finish this up...

time to paint the jet pack and fly the cape....

first off, I had a few issues masking the sections off.....

As soon as I pulled off the tape, my entire airbrushed coat came off.

back to the drawing board and repaint the pack.

while the pack was drying, started to work on the cape

checking the attached area to the shoulder..

used sheet foam squares painted silver and just glued them right to the cape.

looks ok, but I want a little more dramatic look

time to stiffen the cape

propped in added wrinkles, completely dowsed with stiffen and let dry

the result turned out pretty nice....although still a little too heavy to support itself

after trying wooden dowels for support, went with solder

works well, holds it in place

bent it down a little so it doesn't look like he's in a full on wind storm

now back to the pack.....

since the airbrush coat came off so easily, had to switch to acrylics....

the goal is to paint it as if Boba had just unpacked it from the Amazon, then scuff it up and add scratches and wear.

getting closer, time to add the shading.....

pcoz · Jun 28, 2015

airbrushed some black to weather it it a little...

started scratching the surface

with the enamel base and the acrylic/airbrushed top coat, it scratches off very nicely...

ok, pack is done....

finish coating the base

attaching the pack and wookie scalps

time to attach to the base...drilled a hole through the foot

hot glued a wooden dowel as far in as possible

positioning the hole in the base to accept the dowel

nice fit....

That's it, COMPLETED !

pcoz · Jun 28, 2015

well almost completed....

took a few pictures outside in natural light and noticed how glossy the paint looked

used a matte varnish to remove the shine

definitely toned the glossy look down....

ok, NOW I'm done....ugh

Thanks to all who posted comments and likes. I really appreciate it. It was a fun project, but on to the next !

Thanks for looking !
